Most of the Patriots superbowl teams, they just didn't have the amount of injuries on defense, except that time they had Troy Brown playing defense

I think you failed to see the parallel. Mike McCarthy + Aaron Rodgers for their first 10 seasons missed the playoffs only one time. The first year Rodgers was starting. Does that sound familiar? McCarthy is fine. Good coach, sure. He’s nothing special. Neither is McDermott. Rodgers was special. Josh is special.

20 yrs from now we're going to look back and realize pairing Allen w McDermott was by far the Billsiest thing this franchise has ever done

Yes, but he changed his name to Josh Hines-Allen.

Here’s an @HappyDays timeline. 2021: “The Bills can’t rely on guys like Manny Sanders come January, they will recognize they need to shore up the WR position” 2022: “The Bills realized that cast offs like Harty and Sherfield aren’t enough, they will invest more in WRs around Josh” 2023: “the bills have realized that Diggs + Gabe isn’t enough. They will add more WRs” 2024: “The Bills got this far with Mack Hollins leading the snap count. There’s NO WAY they will run back a similar group again.” 2025: ????????

Okay Mrs. Beane. Bills are 11th due to the brilliance of Josh Allen. No other qb is this League puts up 4,000 yards passing and 45 total tds with this group a replacement level players. Give Josh a chase/higgins or McConkey/whomever LAC also has or a McLaurin or a Waddle (which Beane got tricked out of getting) and Josh is MVP every year.

The thread title is absurd and the OP should be embarrassed.

Yes my impression lately listening between the lines of Bills media outlets is Beane getting set up as the fall guy. The messaging has been remarkably consistent Which I'm fine w btw. I think he's been decent if not spectacular.

roster is not a disaster. there are players other teams are singling out on where they are attacking- taron, cam, and knowing when the soft zone is easy to attack as well. injury has been a big story for the pass catching positions-kincaid, palmer, samuel. but a combo of palmer, coleman, kincaid, and shakir is a pretty good threat for any qb much less josh.

Just imagine what those numbers would look like if there were "somebodys" there. Which is probably McD's point.

You're right, Mahomes is not a valid argument to try and make and isn't important to my point, my apologies. I'm also not suggesting we move up to #10 to get a receiver. My point is that the Bills can find talent at the back of the first and into the second round if they put the effort in, which may include moving up 5-10 spots or so. So the "we're drafting at the end of rounds, woe is us" doesn't hold much water for me at this point. We have Josh Allen. You seem to be missing the fundamental point that if the Bills want to win a Superbowl they need to use better resources on receivers and the front seven on defense. Get the proper scouting system in, it doesn't have to be trading way up to grab a guy. 8 years in and the scouts and/or Beane blew the Coleman pick so badly? It shouldn't happen at this point, that high in the draft. What a wasted resource. That's why we can't make it to the Superbowl. You can quote regular season statistics and if that's adequate for you, no problem. We do well in the regular season. The playoffs are the thing, I don't believe this year's receiving statistics will translate to a Superbowl, so we can agree to disagree and see. And if there was a game changing DE or LB that fell to number 10, I would absolutely mortgage picks to move up and get him. We sorely need one. JMO of course.

Solomon has been underwhelming to be sure. The question is, who is Buffalo going to find to play defensive end for them next season? I think both Epenesa and Bosa are at the end of their contracts. One or both are likely to be gone. Rousseau will be here. Hoecht is still under contract as is Landon Jackson. Rousseau isn't exactly crushing it this season, Hoecht is probably not going to be playing at full speed at the start of the season, assuming he's on the field at all in September and Landon Jackson has yet to show he can figure out how to play defensive end in the NFL. The Bills might draft a defensive end next spring, but I'll be a bit surprised if it is in the first round. I don't know that there are any future superstars among defensive ends in the upcoming draft. The Bills will be very lucky if they can find a real productive guy after round 1. Good free agents defensive ends are expensive unless there are unusual circumstances.

You have to understand McDermott to get the anger. Ingram is a kid who scrapped, and worked, and who was respectful, and who came from nothing and never gave up. McD is sort of similar - high school wrestler, undersized, all hustle, hardworking, focused, etc. @GunnerBill is probably dead on with the Keon suggestion. Coleman is a non malevolent bonehead who is immature and plays too many video games and has no attention to detail. That goof sticking while Ingram walks out the door for nothing has got to infuriate McD. What most people also don't understand is that guys like Marino and Tim Graham hear stuff they can't report. So when you get these little nuggets from each of them . . . treat it as a little bit of subtly-identified smoke.

Not gonna lie, im kinda craving a pod after that article. And im 43.

I think that Rushing attack was very good also I also think gillisllee was a very scheme specific runner.. he wasn't somebody who had the ability to run in any system or any blocking scheme consistently He was like a two trick pony for his Gap power scheme... But he did both of those at an extremely high level ... He had a few looks that he really really excelled on He wasn't the same runner in a zone scheme

Not true. Bills lost a depth player that plays outside cb, safety, and special teams over that fiasco. They didnt lose crap on McKissic. McD covets those players.

Curious how much the control of the 53 has shifted since self proclaimed President of Hockey Operations, Terrance Pegula said "I consider myself a football man". I hadn't quite thought of that until your post and you stated "previously". Worth noting that Lindy has more than hinted twice in the last week or so about his lack of control of his roster. This is full tin foil hat theory/conjecture at the moment. But worth noting since they have the same owner. My take on Pegulas success with the Bills v Sabres has always been that it's been McDermott and Beane vs Terry and that keeps Terry from ruining everything. If McBeane are struggling and Terry is weighing in we could see a lot more turbulance.

People weren’t reading into whether they were standing next to one another at training camp or comments in press conferences. The Slay/Ingram fiasco is akin to when JD McKissic bailed on a handshake deal. It’s out of Brandon Beane’s hands, nobody with a brain is pinning that on him.

This is a good idea, because it avoids the committee nonsense. I don’t think it would stop the controversy. You’d end up with weak geographically based divisions, and excellent teams would be left out. How do you form a northeast division for example? No one is worthy is certain regions. I think the SEC and Big Ten need to form a super league, and the rest can compete in a separate playoff format.

Trump hates anyone who knows more than him on any given subject. Outside of MAGA that is about 99% of the population.

Their tight ends should be able to replicate what Gesicki did and that is a worry for me. Just like in the Bengals game, we need to be effective in stopping the run.

Whites? He is concerned with the global whites population? WTF? This dude is beyond mentally ill.

Yeah I just think that in your haste to make a comparison to Bills RB seasons of years past you inadvertently illustrated just how little context your point had. Cook is having an exceptional season but Josh Allen(the franchise's all time rushing TD leader) is one of the greatest force multipliers for RB's in the running game in the history of the NFL. The Bills organizational identity to this point in their history is clearly running the ball. It's the one area where the standard is HIGH. Cook and this offense is the latest iteration. They are averaging .7 yards per carry above league average. Same as the 2015 NFL leading rushing offense(which didn't even HAVE a 1,000 yard rusher). But the 2016 NFL leading rush offense averaged a ridiculous 1.2 yards above average and had McCoy putting up 5.4 and also Gillislee leading the NFL in ypc(5.7) and 3rd/4th down conversion %.

Same was said about Diggs, Daboll, Allens breakup, you never know which one of these stories is true.

How quickly threads devolve into negativity and whining.
